GMM 中的弱工具变量稳健检验与新凯恩斯菲利普斯曲线AI 解读

We discuss weak instrument robust statistics in GMM for testing hypotheses on the full parameter vector or on subsets of the parameters. We use these test procedures to reexamine the evidence on the new Keynesian Phillips curve model. We find that U.S. postwar data are consistent with the view that inflation dynamics are predominantly forward-looking, but we cannot rule out the presence of considerable backward-looking dynamics. Moreover, the Phillips curve has become…

计量经济学估计量的偏度与峰度AI 解读

We derive the approximate results for two standardized measures of deviation from normality, namely, the skewness and excess kurtosis coefficients, for a class of econometric estimators. The results are built on a stochastic expansion of the moment condition used to identify the econometric estimator. The approximate results can be used not only to study the finite sample behaviour of a particular estimator, but also to compare the finite sample properties of two…

非线性动态矩条件模型的分块广义经验似然推断AI 解读

This paper shows how the blockwise generalized empirical likelihood method can be used to obtain valid asymptotic inference in non-linear dynamic moment conditions models for possibly non-stationary weakly dependent stochastic processes. The results of this paper can be used to construct test statistics for overidentifying moment restrictions, for additional moments, and for parametric restrictions expressed in mixed implicit and constraint form. Monte Carlo simulations seem…

聚类失效时间数据线性回归的广义矩估计AI 解读

We propose a generalized method of moments approach to the accelerated failure time model with correlated survival data. We study the semiparametric rank estimator using martingale-based moments. We circumvent direct estimation of correlation parameters by concatenating the moments and minimizing a quadratic objective function. We establish the consistency and asymptotic normality of the parameter estimators, and derive the limiting distribution of the objective function. We…

拓展经验似然的适用范围AI 解读

This article extends the scope of empirical likelihood methodology in three directions: to allow for plug-in estimates of nuisance parameters in estimating equations, slower than $\sqrt{n}$-rates of convergence, and settings in which there are a relatively large number of estimating equations compared to the sample size. Calibrating empirical likelihood confidence regions with plug-in is sometimes intractable due to the complexity of the asymptotics, so we introduce a…

随机波动率模型中可能非正则假设的精确与渐近检验AI 解读

We study the problem of testing hypotheses on the parameters of one- and two-factor stochastic volatility models (SV), allowing for the possible presence of non-regularities such as singular moment conditions and unidentified parameters, which can lead to non-standard asymptotic distributions. We focus on the development of simulation-based exact procedures-whose level can be controlled in finite samples-as well as on large-sample procedures which remain valid under…

信念在理性预期模型推断中的作用AI 解读

This paper discusses inference for rational expectations models estimated via minimum distance methods by characterizing the probability beliefs regarding the data generating process (DGP) that are compatible with given moment conditions. The null hypothesis is taken to be rational expectations and the alternative hypothesis to be distorted beliefs. This distorted beliefs alternative is analyzed from the perspective of a hypothetical semiparametric Bayesian who believes the…

逆条件密度加权函数的半参数估计效率界AI 解读

Consider the unconditional moment restriction E[ m ( y , υ , w ; π 0 )/ f V | w ( υ | w ) − s ( w ; π 0 )] = 0, where m (·) and s (·) are known vector-valued functions of data ( y ┬ , υ , w ┬ ) ┬ . The smallest asymptotic variance that $\root \of n $ -consistent regular estimators of π 0 can have is calculated when f V | w (·) is only known to be a bounded, continuous, nonzero conditional density function. Our results show that “plug-in” kernel-based estimators of π 0…

矩不等式参数的子抽样与代入式渐近推断有效性AI 解读

This paper considers inference for parameters defined by moment inequalities and equalities. The parameters need not be identified. For a specified class of test statistics, this paper establishes the uniform asymptotic validity of subsampling, m out of n bootstrap, and “plug-in asymptotic” tests and confidence intervals for such parameters. Establishing uniform asymptotic validity is crucial in moment inequality problems because the pointwise asymptotic distributions of the…

通过贝叶斯数值方法估计企业特定的配置无效率AI 解读

Abstract Both the theoretical and empirical literature on the estimation of allocative and technical inefficiency has grown enormously. To minimize aggregation bias, ideally one should estimate firm and input‐specific parameters describing allocative inefficiency. However, identifying these parameters has often proven difficult. For a panel of Chilean hydroelectric power plants, we obtain a full set of such parameters using Gibbs sampling, which draws sequentially from…

随机场阵列的中心极限定理与一致大数定律AI 解读

Over the last decades, spatial-interaction models have been increasingly used in economics. However, the development of a sufficiently general asymptotic theory for nonlinear spatial models has been hampered by a lack of relevant central limit theorems (CLTs), uniform laws of large numbers (ULLNs) and pointwise laws of large numbers (LLNs). These limit theorems form the essential building blocks towards developing the asymptotic theory of M-estimators, including maximum…

使用聚合数据的随机系数Logit模型贝叶斯分析AI 解读

We present a Bayesian approach for analyzing aggregate level sales data in a market with differentiated products. We consider the aggregate share model proposed by Berry et al. [Berry, Steven, Levinsohn, James, Pakes, Ariel, 1995. Automobile prices in market equilibrium. Econometrica. 63 (4), 841-890], which introduces a common demand shock into an aggregated random coefficient logit model. A full likelihood approach is possible with a specification of the distribution of…

含中度整合与中度爆炸回归变量的协整系统极限理论AI 解读

An asymptotic theory is developed for multivariate regression in cointegrated systems whose variables are moderately integrated or moderately explosive in the sense that they have autoregressive roots of the form ρ ni = 1 + c i / n α , involving moderate deviations from unity when α ∈ (0, 1) and c i ∈ ℝ are constant parameters. When the data are moderately integrated in the stationary direction (with c i < 0), it is shown that least squares regression is consistent and…

含噪声数据下的欧拉方程估计：两种精确 GMM 估计量AI 解读

Abstract In this paper we exploit the specific structure of the Euler equation and develop two alternative GMM estimators that deal explicitly with measurement error. The first estimator assumes that the measurement error is log‐normally distributed. The second estimator drops the distributional assumption at the cost of less precision. Our Monte Carlo results suggest that both proposed estimators perform much better than conventional alternatives based on the exact Euler…

误差截面相关对短动态面板估计的影响AI 解读

This paper explores the impact of error cross-sectional dependence (modelled as a factor structure) on a number of widely used IV and generalized method of moments (GMM) estimators in the context of a linear dynamic panel data model. It is shown that, under such circumstances, the standard moment conditions used by these estimators are invalid -- a result that holds for any lag length of the instruments used. Transforming the data in terms of deviations from time-specific…

含缺失值估计方程的经验似然推断AI 解读

We consider an empirical likelihood inference for parameters defined by general estimating equations when some components of the random observations are subject to missingness. As the nature of the estimating equations is wide-ranging, we propose a nonparametric imputation of the missing values from a kernel estimator of the conditional distribution of the missing variable given the always observable variable. The empirical likelihood is used to construct a profile…

存在无应答的分层样本：伪经验似然方法AI 解读

Nonresponse is common in surveys. When the response probability of a survey variable Y depends on Y through an observed auxiliary categorical variable Z (i.e., the response probability of Y is conditionally independent of Y given Z), a simple method often used in practice is to use Z categories as imputation cells and construct estimators by imputing nonrespondents or reweighting respondents within each imputation cell. This simple method, however, is inefficient when some Z…

含解释变量的线性动态面板模型截面依赖检验AI 解读

This paper proposes a new testing procedure for detecting error cross section dependence after estimating a linear dynamic panel data model with regressors using the generalised method of moments (GMM). The test is valid when the cross-sectional dimension of the panel is large relative to the time series dimension. Importantly, our approach allows one to examine whether any error cross section dependence remains after including time dummies (or after transforming the data in…

Lasso 型广义矩估计量AI 解读

This paper proposes the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator–type (Lasso-type) generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator. This Lasso-type estimator is formed by the GMM objective function with the addition of a penalty term. The exponent of the penalty term in the regular Lasso estimator is equal to one. However, the exponent of the penalty term in the Lasso-type estimator is less than one in the analysis here. The magnitude of the exponent is reduced to avoid…

谱均值及比率统计量的置信区间AI 解读

We propose a new method, to construct confidence intervals for spectral mean and related ratio statistics of a stationary process, that avoids direct estimation of their asymptotic variances. By introducing a bandwidth, a self-normalization procedure is adopted and the distribution of the new statistic is asymptotically nuisance-parameter free. The bandwidth is chosen using information criteria and a moving average sieve approximation. Through a simulation study, we…

时域与频域中时间序列数据的渐消加权经验似然AI 解读

We investigate data tapering in two formulations of empirical likelihood for time series. One empirical likelihood is formed from tapered data blocks in the time domain and a second is based on the tapered periodogram in the frequency domain. Limiting distributions are provided for both empirical likelihood versions under tapering. Theoretical and simulation evidence indicates that a data taper improves the coverage accuracy of empirical likelihood confidence intervals for…

指数倾斜混合模型的剖面似然札记AI 解读

Suppose that independent observations are drawn from multiple distributions, each of which is a mixture of two component distributions such that their log density ratio satisfies a linear model with a slope parameter and an intercept parameter. Inference for such models has been studied using empirical likelihood, and mixed results have been obtained. The profile empirical likelihood of the slope and intercept has an irregularity at the null hypothesis so that the two…

存在不依从的随机试验中因果效应的高效非参数估计AI 解读

Causal approaches based on the potential outcome framework provide a useful tool for addressing noncompliance problems in randomized trials. We propose a new estimator of causal treatment effects in randomized clinical trials with noncompliance. We use the empirical likelihood approach to construct a profile random sieve likelihood and take into account the mixture structure in outcome distributions, so that our estimator is robust to parametric distribution assumptions and…
